Lock
All signs point to the Carolina Panthers landing former Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Bryce Young after they traded up with the Chicago Bears. It’s hard to believe Carolina didn’t give up all that draft capital without knowing exactly what it would do with the pick. Secrets get during NFL Draft time, and it would take something shocking for Young to fall out of the top five on Thursday night.
Pick: Bryce Young
Longshot
The top of the draft is filled with quarterbacks and players looking to tackle quarterbacks but if one team is more interested in shoring up the secondary, former Illinois Fighting Illini cornerback Devon Witherspoon might be that guy. He’s one of the top defensive backs in this draft class and if Witherspoon gets selected, you’re in for a strong payout that might be worth a shot.
Pick: Devon Witherspoon
